Meet The Gay FBI Trainee On ABC’s “Quantico”

Tate Ellington is all kinds of adorkable

From: NewNowNext

 You may not recognize the name Tate Ellington, but you’ve certainly seen his face

 Perhaps as one of the cannibals on The Walking Dead

 Or four episodes of The Mindy Project

 Or as some dude in Sinister 2

But you’ll definitely recognize him from this Nationwide commercial.

And this Pepsi commercial

But we’re sure to get to know him in a big way starting this wekk with the much-anticipated premiere of ABC’s Quantico.

The series follows a group of young FBI recruits battling their way through training at the academy in Quantico, Virginia, with flashbacks detailing their previous lives. Tate plays gay recruit Simon Asher, who bonds with his fellow trainees.

Can Simon make it through rigorous training?

Even with distractions like Graham Rogers and Brian J. Smith?

And (starting with Episode Two) The Flash star Rick Cosnett as the other gay character on the show, FBI analyst Elias Harper.

Quantico premiered Sunday, September 27th and will repeat tonight 10PM ET of ABC.
